Service-Animal Policy
Library visitors may be accompanied by a service animal, typically a dog. A service animal is an animal trained to perform a specific task or set of tasks.
The university reserves the right to ask if the animal is required because of a disability and what work or task the animal has been trained to perform. College personnel may not make these inquiries about a service animal when it is readily apparent that the animal is trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability (e.g., guiding an individual who is blind).
Service animals are different from emotional support animals, which are not allowed in academic buildings and are for comfort only.
